It has obviously been a long time since my last post. Just looking at the picture, it is strange to think about how different my life was when I wrote it! I can remember sitting at my desk in my 'piano room' trying to get that font error at the bottom of the post corrected - oh well. In the fall
I took up homeschooling since we weren't sure when we would be moving and had a full touring schedule. We hit the road for The Reason To Gather Tour with Audrey Assad and Jenny and Tyler, and kept dropping the price of our house. At the end of that tour, we sold with the condition that we would be out by Christmas. With a Christmas tour already taking us out of town, we had nine days to be out. We filled three storage PODS with stuff, and moved just the bare necessities into our new little home in St Paul. It was important to Toby that we all say good-bye to the house in Burnsville, so we all went over for that last load. This is the only house my kids have ever known, and each of them were grieving. Toby was sobbing, sobbing, and Ruby kept looking at me. I told her that Toby was just grieving, and it was okay. "I will probably cry too," she said. A few minutes later I heard her trying to make herself cry, but it was fake, and she knew it. She looked up at me and shrugged her shoulders as if to say, oh well, I tried. With the help of many amazing friends, we cleared out the last of our belongings at 10pm, boarded the bus and headed to Chicago.

I am so happy you posted again! This story about Ruby is so funny and so perfect. A sweet attempt to feel what she wasn't feeling. I get that.
ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
